Hi,

Thank you for those nice tips.

I just have a problem when I have to reboot in recovery mode. My G1 stays on my provider screen (Orange FR)

My G1 is rooted.

I tried to use flashrec 1.1.2 and download the recovery img from the web, and it works but i don't see all the options required to make the partitions you ask.

Have you any solution for me ? (Another recovery img ?)

Thanks :)
[G1 General] Pastro100:
Hey,

So I did some research on your issue and was not able to find any other fix other than downgrading to RC29 (the Dreaimg.nbh file) and then trying the process over again.

Something must have gone wrong when you were flashing the recovery image.

I will continue to see if I can figure out how this may have happened and provide some feedback.
[G1 General] SirThumpaLot:
Awesome tutorial, dood. It took me hours to figure out the whole root thing when I rooted my first G1 and eventually the whole process ended being a combination of multiple tutorials. Took even longer to find a stable ROM I could use as a daily driver. Big-Ups, yo!
[G1 General] ViMx:
I think I found the problem ...

I made the all process again and the problem seems to be here:
[G1 General] Pastro100:
Hey so after looking at the screen shot it looks like you have a Rogers Dream with an EBI1 (3.22.xx) radio. I found some info here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=RE-recovery-img

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4647751

Looks like you need this recovery image instead:

Let me know.

Thanks

Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. I followed all steps in exact order!
[G1 General] edru:
If you look at the CyanogenMod Wiki Page thats one of the first things listed to do.

Nice guide and all but the page has its own guide how to get there fully - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Dream
[G1 General] mejorguille:
Good guide. I'm sure it will help out a lot of newbies. You should probably post his somewhere like the tmobile forums where more people will be able to use it. Just so you know, a few of the things you list are redundant and it can be shortened quite a bit. For example, with CM6 there is no need to partition the SD (for now), and swap is only ever helpful in Hero Sense UI roms. I'll help you cut some of the fat from it.

I think I removed enough things to make it a little shorter. I am not sure which SPL you are referring to as Hard spl. Can you reboot via camara+power and tell me what your hboot version is? Also you should probably look at firerats custom MTD partitions thread, it means that you don't need danger anymore.
[G1 General] Deleted member 804010:
Great write-up, worked perfectly - even for an android newb like me

Thanks for the help

Have a good one
[G1 General] zenity:
Wait... you mean we don't need to go through all the angst of 'should I / shouldn't I' over DangerSPL any more, if only I'd known that 20 minuters ago, ( didn't brick anything, but I did worry somewhat :D ).

And I'll just go repartiton my SD card again shall I? Lmao...... Yeah, new(ish) G1, you'd think I'd have learned to search and read more by now huh?

Excellent guide though, as a complete G1 noob it got me though it with a little less confusion than some other guides, ( I mean how do you flash a radio if you never did it before, most other guides assume you know how, or do not explicitly guide you through that step, given DangerSPL's reputation, I'd have considered that almost obligatory).

Happily running my favoured CM5 again, yes I know the guide is for CM6, but I stepped off the guide just a little to go for eclair rather than froyo ( almost feel guilty saying it, but it's just the same as my Nand flashed Kaiser now, perhaps a bit faster).

Thanks and cookies :) (off to do a little userbar and sig work :) )
[G1 General] everythingisround:
Curious about Hard/Danger

Is that right? CM6 works with HardSPL just as with DangerSPL? Same apps (not neutered at all)?

Gonna try this guide with HardSPL for the first time. I haven't found actual evidence of performance differences, so if I notice anything I'll post back. I had rooted and install CM5.0.8 on another friends G1. We'll see how this goes. Thanks for the guide.
[G1 General] mejorguille:
No Hardspl won't work unless you use firerat's mtd hack.
[G1 General] vonpixel:
Good guide! Im excieted to see so many positive posts.

I however have run into a problem.

During this step:

The screen does not go grey with blue writing. It stays light blue/white and gives the two options.

Do you want to start update?

<action> yes

<power> no

If I hit the end key it goes back to <send> fast boot mode and does nothing at really. Is this right? I left it for an hour and nothing has happened at all. I have no indication that it is doing anything.
[G1 General] vonpixel:
Ok so I had to hit the action button instead. Sorry I'm learning as I go here basically.
[G1 General] demkantor:
probably not the same files, find the htc desire thread and you should get all the help you need there
[G1 General] JeromeSama:
Can i ask u a few question senior member ?
[G1 General] demkantor:
of course, but just so you know not all senior members have all the answers :)
[G1 General] JeromeSama:
if i did this is it correct ?

Brick my phone

1.custom roms

2.free my tether

3.overclocking

4.comprehensive backups

5.install rom

6.Flash roms

7.recover data from backups

8.install superuser

is this the correct steps ?
[G1 General] demkantor:
i dont think thats quite right, never tried to root an htc desire but this isnt steps to root a phone, this is what you have

custom roms are exactly that, not what you get on your phone from htc or whomever

free my tether sounds like an app that only works on rooted phones

overclocking is something you can do once your phone is rooted

comprehensive backups are another benefit

instal rom, what you do once your rooted

flash roms, another way of saying install rom

recover data from backups, yes...

install superuser - this will come part of any custom rom, cant be installed unless rooted

check out this thread

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=754

the people here should be able to help walk you through the rooting proses

good luck!
[G1 General] JeromeSama:
thank you for the suggestions and help senior member :)
[G1 General] neongeno5:
hey guys, i recently unrooted my phone because after rooting my battery life went to heck and i thought unrooting would fix it (it didnt)

now im looking to root again, except im having a real hard time finding all the files i need since most of these links are dead now. can anyone upload a batch of all the files i need that were mentioned in this guide so i can follow the steps appropriately?

much appreciated
[G1 General] demkantor:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting

the files you need should be here. make sure to wipe battery stats when flashing a new rom, also remember some roms have poor batter life, rooting alone will have no effect on battery life.

Android 2.3.7.

Hey Guys,

First I have to say that I am a n00b (really, this is my first post^^).

I have got a few problems with my Google G1. A friend of mine just installed Android 2.3.7. on it, but here are the problems:

-I do not get every Sms (friends keep complaining why I do not write back)

-I can not install every App (for example WhatsApp, PaperToss) because it says there is not enough space on the phone (while there actually is)

-WLAN does not work

Is there something I can do? Might it even be better just to install Android 2.2.?

thx for your help

Daniel
[G1 General] demkantor:
There is an app called ghostly sms that will keep you from loosing messages. Allso depending on what rom and if he was using custom mtd when flashing the rom it maybe the chace size not internal memory that is low. You need to bind the cache.
[G1 General] drunkdrunk:
very useful for newers...
[G1 General] Grapha0123:
Does Binding the Cache mean the same as to delet it?

Btw: A problem I also have is the facte, that some apps can not be installed on my phone. for example when I had android 1.6. there was no problem playing paper toss, but now, with 2.3.7. I can't even download it, because it is not compatible with my phone (htc dream)?

If anyone knows what might be the problem, please help me T.T
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
Binding the cache means to "bind mount" the cache to a different location, i.e. sd-ext, to get more caching space.

The reason, that Apps from the market cannot be found is related to the meta-information / sdk level an application is requiring / the ROM is providing. Most likely there is now a newer paper-toss version in the market available which requires i.e. hardware acceleration, which is not provided by our HTC Dream.

HELP

Hi to everybody.

I´m a newbie in the forum and I have a problem.

I´m an owner of Galaxy Nexus now but I decide to re-use my old T- mobile G1 as a second device.

Description:

Firmware:1.6

Baseband Version 62.505.20.17U_2.22.1926I

Kernel:2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37android-build@apa26#19

Build DRC92

try to downgrade it in order to flash CyanogenMod so I create a 2GB goldcard put Dreamg inside start loading but when it tells me to push the power button i press it and nothing happens it is just stuck there.

Any help please.
[G1 General] Arsen258:
Strange. There is only one way to apply goldcard and if it's not working, I'm affraid, that u made yourself quite an expensive brick.
[G1 General] ebhakt:
Thanks

Thanks so much for this wonderful article/post.

I purchased an HTC G1 last year and then i rooted it using your website.

It is very well rooted and working very well since...

Thanks

Keep Sharing
[G1 General] vonpixel:
Ah Now Im having this problem.

Gonna do some reading tomorrow and let you know if it works.
[G1 General] ViMx:
Actually, the problem is before the second step.

The problem from the screen shot occurs when I try to downgrade by using the "DREAIMG"... (Step I) 9.)

Any idea ?
[G1 General] vonpixel:
Hey ViMix I found this guide which is specific to the Rogers branded Dream:

edit- I can't post links yet, ill try pming it to you

Might be usefull. Im following it right now but going for Cyanogen 5.0.8 instead of 6. Ive heard from a few people that 5 is a bit quicker than 6.
[G1 General] mejorguille:
Sorry but you are out of luck unless you know advanced JTAG procedures. The newest Rogers update locked the bootloader so that you could not gain root.
[G1 General] EdKo66:
Thanks for your tutorial, also on behalve of the Androidworld.nl community ;)
[G1 General] Pastro100:

I have been out of town so I haven't checked back in a while!

I didn't expect this to have so many views! I submitted it on Digg, hopefully it gets some diggs to make it to the top of the MOD section so that anyone else who needs this can find it!

Swap out CM 6 for 5?

Hey guys,

[G1 General] ewalk486:
Help with install please

OK so i am new to all of these and my friend came over last night and asked me to install this mod on his phone so i did. So this is where the quastions come in.

First after flashing the phone going step-by-step with the guide 1 we get to the part when you install cyanogenmod zip file and that fails and wil not install why is that?2 now his phone only can place calls not receive calls why? also text measaging will not work eather why? Thanks for your help
[G1 General] :
Wow this guide is great. I have put off rooting for months because it seemed daunting. This guide makes it much more simple process, although long (not your fault). Running CY6 mod now on my G1, awesome.
[G1 General] cobaltbluecb7:
i still can not get market to work. i click it and it jus goes to white screen and comes back to the home screen. what's going on?
[G1 General] chasing.aimee:
I just tried it and it worked like a champ on my g1! Only issue I am having now besides the fact that I dont know how to do ANYTHING, (I was going for apps on the sd card naturally and also killing some ads for sure) Only problem I have is I cant figure out how to put ringtones to contacts? I knew I would lose everything but now I cant figure out how to put it back??? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the great guide!
[G1 General] kbohip:
Pastro, thanks SOOOO much for putting this guide together. Like you, I had spent a good 4-5 hours attempting to put the newest CM on my old G1. So many different guides and not one of them worked at all for me. This one worked the first time through brilliantly!:D
[G1 General] cobaltbluecb7:
help anyone?
[G1 General] Pastro100:
Go to recovery mode and wipe/factory reset. Then reflash the ROM and then GAPPS and see if that helps
[G1 General] vonpixel:
So I ended up having to follow this guide:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1

It was the easiest way for me. I have a Rogers branded HTC Dream wich is apparently fairly different under the hood. It worked perfectly for me (after I did a wipe from the Amun RA recovery mode).
[G1 General] ArcticWolf91:
I am afraid to do this, but I will try it tonight! Wish me luck! :)
[G1 General] EagleEye812:
Here already is where I hit a wall. Instead of asking me to update, the gray-blue screen says "Loading..." "Checking..." and finally "0028002 not allow". After about two more seconds it goes back to the rainbow screen. That says

DREA110 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Sep 2 2008

Serial 0

This is a stock T-Mobile G1. Any help?

Thanks.

Edit: After a bit more research (I have a German phone), it seems to be a GoldCard issue (something about the SD-card). Furthermore, I cannot directly format the SD-card from Windows (tried 7 and Vista). As soon as I hit format, the card automatically unmounts. Same thing happens when I try to do it command-line.

Edit2: Follow the relevant instructions on hxxp://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Operating-System-Software/ULTIMATE-GUIDE-Every-Guide-you-need-to-modify-your-Android-phone/m-p/173419 to transform your SD-card into a gold card!

Edit3: Seems to have worked, now waiting fort the final reboot. Thanks a lot! Very comprehensive
[G1 General] ArcticWolf91:
Btw, I forgot to mention yesterday that I did this and successfully rooted my phone! Great guide! :)
[G1 General] gasp0h:
I wanted to do this tonight, but I have searched here, and various other forums about the DMD64 Firmware version of 1.6.

I have a Tmobile G1, and am located in the USA.

The talk about needing a "goldcard" etc is very vague, but from what I have gathered from postings is that it is needed only for european subscribers..but I do not have this confirmed.

Before I start on a voyage I cannot complete tonight, someone please answer this question. For my Tmobile branded G1, with 1.6 Build DMD64, can I use this guide without any issues and skip having to make a goldcard etc?

THANK YOU in advance, truly truly appreciated
[G1 General] EagleEye812:
I'll try to explain the trouble I ran into, and the easiest solution.

If you are not able to perform step 8 of part I (don't worry, all you've done by this step is format the SD-card), follow these instructions:

These are instructions for Windows (tested on Win7) to bypass the "0028002 not allow" message in the bootloader update process.

A) Get a (micro-)SD-card reader. For me, this didn't work with the G1 itself. You could use a micro-to-regular SD adapter, or any other micro-sd card device such as a photo camera.

B) Follow these instructions to get the CID number

C) Format the SD-card to FAT32 in your cardreader device, I used DOS:

format F: /FS:FAT32 /A:4096 (where F: is your micro sd card)

D) Follow these instructions to transform your SD-card into a gold card (while still using the card reader)

Note: you can use PSAS instead of QMAT for these purposes, it's the same program.

E)

F) Put the sd-card back into the G1, and start from the original instructions of this thread: I) 7. (Unmount your phone... etc)

Pastro:

I am not conversant with flashig the ROM. I am following your guide to install 2.2 on my G1 having 1.6. Unfortunately I am not able to move ahead after step 13 of section I. Exclamation sign in the triangle remains there even after 30 min. would you suggest some solution.

thnx.
[G1 General] lapujhannak:
Sorry my mistake..passed through update now..but unable to see home screen after the reboot at step 14 of section-I....I am getting google sign in but don't know how to connect the phone via Wifi...also I applied APN but GPRS connectivity not there...
[G1 General] ArcticWolf91:
Ok can someone please help me? I followed these instructions and installed Cyanogenmod 6, but now I want to install Cyanogenmod 5 instead. I tried doing it by following the instruction here from step 4 onward (except that instead of using CM6 I used CM5). It worked, but my home button wasnt working, and I was missing a few apps, notably the market (which is essential). I did a restore and am now back to CM6. So I guess my question is, from this state (right where one would be if they followed these instructions) how do I go about installing CM5? Please help a noob like me. :)
[G1 General] gasp0h:
^ From what you describe, is the version of 5 is bad that you had gotten. Possibly corrupt or poorly put together rom and or not direct from the source?
[G1 General] gasp0h:
Just installed, everything working proper so far.

For record. I had the DMD64 build, on a US Tmobile phone, using US service and did not need to make a gold card.

Both the OP and poster who answered the gold card question a page back are awesome. :D

Here is a good question though, Froyo has it's own "apps2sd" sort of mod, however, it is dependent upon updated apps and you are f'd if the publisher does not allow this or have an update for their application that allows you to do this. I looked on Cyanogen's wiki, going to look further but would love to install apps2sd on here so I can do 100% of the moveable apps over to the SD to save space on this low memory G1
[G1 General] gasp0h:
^May have been a dumb question, in settings/cyanogen mod settings, there is an application install option, so far out of 8 apps I am putting back on phone I have been able to get all of them on the SD card :D

Been following the guide through but how long does Part IV) Step 9 take?

9. Select the CYANOGENMOD 6 ROM Named something like "update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC1-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm and wait for it to finish.

It says Finding update package.... and has done for the last 30 minutes. Is this normal?

Cheers.

Edit: After restarting that step due to impatience, it now gets past Finding update package... but is now stuck on Opening update package... and help please?

[G1 General] gasp0h:
Just had an issue, phone froze after having Cyanogen 6 on for a week or so, pulled battery, phone would not get past G1 logo after that. Was able to get into recovery, now reloading Froyo+Gapps as we speak and testing to see if this resolved issue. I had just recently installed 2 apps which could have been the cause of the lockup because it occurred when I was within Astro filemanager.

Going to keep a regular backup now using Rom-Manager (it makes an image of the current rom along with programs/settings right?) I haven't used it before but it came built in so figured it is probably good.

Using an old card reader & something like gparted to create your swap & ext 3/4 partition would save you alot of trouble...

Seems like alot steps have been posted here, man what happened the 1 click root... I used to be able to root those suckers in no time, personally I would recommend rooting & playing around with roms that use the stock spl, until you get comfortable with flashing, even though it is fairly simple & straight forward a ton if people have bricked there phones when attempting to flash danger spl, so just make sure your thorough & all should go well...

You can safely delete all the zips,roms,spl,etc... Once you flash them you will no longer need them on your sd.

This is my first attempt and I made it to the last step of the partitioning and was waiting for it to boot back into Android and it never made it. It was showing ANDROID on the screen and appeared to keep resetting that screen. After a while, I just pulled the battery out and attempted to power up again. It makes it past the ANDROID screen now, but just goes black after that. The backlight is on, but no graphics or anything. Everything appeared to be going smoothly! What can I do now?:confused:

Disregard. I got it figured out! Very awesome! I'm happier with it already! Thanks for the great tutorial!
[G1 General] ben7337:
Okay I have figured out what my issue is but I have no solution to it and desperately need help.

I am trying to use a T-Mobile G1 on a prepaid plan which has no data. In order to use my phone at all, I need to get past the google activation page where you log in to google. In order to do this I need to be on RC29 to hack and turn on wifi with help from ADB. I have no problem doing this, but this guide includes an update to cupcake which ruins everything because I can't get around the activation with this update installed, and I assume this update is also what allows people to get file managers and other things.
